  • non-serving Node Bs (not shown) of UE 12 are permitted to communicate enhanced relative grant channel (E-RGCH) grants to UE 12 to cause decrease in transmit power to protect the non-serving Node Bs from interference by UE 12 .

  • T2P ratio refers to an offset of the data traffic channel to the pilot channel.
  • scheduling component 24 can decrease throughput for UE 12 and grant the additional throughput up to a remaining RoT margin to other UEs.
  • an E-RGCH received from a non-serving node may be used to control the primary stream TBS and the power level of both the primary stream and a secondary stream.
  • the decoding performance of the secondary stream is impacted whenever the power level is reduced.
  • the rate-adaptation margin loop at the serving Node B is used to lower the secondary stream TBS as needed to maintain its decoding error rate.
  • the non-serving E-RGCH is also used to modify the secondary stream grant, resulting in a new secondary stream TBS, thus aiding the margin loop in maintaining the decoding performance on the secondary stream.
  • E-TFC selecting component 20 can assign an E-TFC to each stream received in the scheduling grant(s) from Node B 14 by scheduling grant receiving component 18 , or flows related thereto. This can occur at the MAC layer, in one example.
  • the E-TFC can define constraints for communicating over the primary and/or additional uplink streams assigned to UE 12 based on available transmission resources, for example.
  • UE 12 can support sets of states for the E-TFCs selectable by the E-TFC selecting component 20 for given streams.
  • the sets of states can include a first set related to the primary stream of two streams, a second set of states related to the secondary stream of two streams, a third set for one stream only, etc.
  • UE 12 can maintain n+(n ⁇ 1)+(n ⁇ 2)+ . . . +(n ⁇ (n ⁇ 1)) sets of states—one for each possible stream in a given stream configuration.
  • Each state in a given set of states can indicate whether a corresponding payload is supported or blocked over the corresponding stream configuration, which can be referred to herein as E-TFC restriction.
  • the states can be modified by the UE 12 based on resources available for communicating with Node B 14 (e.g., in a previous transmission period), and UE 12 can obey the states when communicating with Node B 14 .
  • E-TFC selecting component 20 can select an E-TFC for the streams related to the scheduling grant(s) received by scheduling grant receiving component 18
  • communicating component 22 can determine whether to transmit data for one or more of the streams to Node B 14 at a MAC layer, based on the associated E-TFC and the corresponding set of states (e.g., and/or the streams to be utilized).
  • E-TFCs selectable by E-TFC selecting component 20 can have associated minimum T2P/TBS for additional streams, such that the communicating component 22 cannot transmit over the additional streams using associated T2P or TBS that are below the minimum (and thus communications over these streams can be cancelled).
  • the minimum E-TFC set e.g., a set of E-TFCs that can transmit when UE 12 power is below a threshold
  • the HARQ index for the primary stream can be 0 to n ⁇ 1, and for the secondary stream can be n to 2n ⁇ 1(and for tertiary stream can be 2n to 3n ⁇ 1, etc.).
  • Communicating component 22 can use the appropriate HARQ index for retransmitting communications from the first and/or second streams, depending on the state in the set of states of the selected E-TFC corresponding to the configuration of streams, etc.
  • the communicating component 22 may apply HARQ interlace activation or deactivation for the primary stream and the secondary stream using the paired HARQ indices.
  • communicating component 22 can keep an original TBS of the stream for retransmitting data over the stream based on the configuration of streams. For example, for retransmission over a primary stream where two streams are assigned and utilized according to the configuration of streams, communicating component 22 can utilize the TBS for the retransmission that is similar to that used over the primary stream to initially transmit. Communicating component 22 can further transmit the secondary stream where allowed according to the grant, power, and data, as described previously, when considering the retransmission of the primary stream. In another example, for retransmission over a secondary stream where two streams are assigned and utilized according to the configuration of streams, communicating component 22 can utilize the TBS for the retransmission that is similar to that used over the secondary stream to initially transmit.
  • the communicating component 22 can also communicate a new transmission over the primary stream so as to not violate possible constraints regarding the relationship between the secondary stream throughput and primary stream throughput, as described.
  • Throughput is also referred to herein as T2P/TBS, as the T2P/TBS of a stream may result in the throughput thereof
  • the retransmission of data from the secondary stream can occur on the primary stream as a single stream transmission to the Node B 14 .
  • UE 12 can update scheduling grants partly based on HARQ retransmissions.
  • the scheduling grant updates can be independent per HARQ index.
  • a zero grant size can be used for the secondary stream.
  • the scheduling grant update on the primary stream can be zero, and the secondary stream grant update can be greater than zero despite constraints on the relationship between the allowed primary and secondary throughput described above.
  • Communicating component 22 can also implement power scaling for multiple-stream transmissions (e.g., where the selected state in the set of states for the E-TFC allows transmission over more than just the primary stream). Though described below in the context of two streams, more streams are possible for computing power scaling for the streams. It is to be appreciated that the communicating component 22 can give priority to a stream that is retransmitting. In one example, communicating component 22 can compute the power for two streams based on the primary stream (e.g., based on the T2P/TBS of a retransmission or a related scheduling grant of the primary stream).
  • the retransmission for the secondary stream may require the original T2P/TBS, but may be assigned the smaller T2P/TBS of the scheduling grant on the primary stream.
  • communicating component 22 can compute the power scaling for the streams based on the larger power computed for one of the streams.
  • the computed power scaling for the primary stream can be based on the T2P/TBS for retransmission or for a received scheduling grant.
  • the computed power scaling for the secondary stream can be based on the T2P/TBS of a scheduling grant for a new transmission, or for retransmission can be based on the previous power or the previous scheduling grant when the packet started. For example, if the packet is for retransmission on the secondary stream, the computed power for the secondary stream corresponds to the power on the primary stream when the packet to retransmit is originally formed.
  • the computed power for the secondary stream corresponds to the power that would be used by the primary stream if SG on the serving stream is fully utilized.
  • the computed power for the secondary stream corresponds to the power used in the previous transmission attempt.
  • the communicating component 22 can choose the maximum of the computed power scaling for the primary stream and the computed power scaling for the secondary stream as the power scaling for both streams.
  • the communicating component 22 can select a T2P/TBS for the secondary stream based on scheduling grant and the E-TFC restriction, described above. If the minimum T2P/TBS is below a threshold value, communicating component 22 may not utilize the secondary stream for communicating. Accordingly, the set of associated states may indicate that the secondary stream is blocked based on a determination that the secondary TBS is less than a minimum secondary TBS for the secondary stream.
  • the communicating component 22 chooses the T2P/TBS of the primary stream based on the set of states in the selected E-TFC corresponding to one stream only, the scheduled grant, and/or the data (e.g., a T2P/TBS sufficient for transmitting the data over the grant with no other streams to consider).
  • the communicating component 22 can also allow the secondary pilot transmission without the second data stream, where the power for the secondary pilot is at an offset to the power for the primary pilot.
  • the T2P for the minimum TBS should be chosen so that dynamic switching between an on/off state of the secondary stream where the T2P/TBS is above/below a threshold does not cause a large oscillation in the power for the secondary pilot.
  • non-scheduled grant can be applied to both streams to allow at least a minimum transmission to Node B 14 .
  • the communicating component 22 can apply the non-scheduled grant starting with the primary stream, and data can be filled according to the T2P/TBS of the non-scheduled grant on the primary stream and then to additional streams.
  • the UE 12 can have up to a similar number of E-RGCHs on both Node B 14 and one or more non-serving Node Bs.
  • Communicating component 22 can also communicate feedback regarding the scheduling grants to Node B 14 .
  • the communicating component 22 can transmit a happy bit in enhanced dedicated physical control channel (E-DPCCH) and/or secondary E-DPCCH (S-E-DPCCH), which can be the same happy bit value in both cases.
  • happy bit refers to an indicator transmitted from UE 22 to Node B 14 indicating whether the uplink data rate allocated to the UE is sufficient, given the amount of data in the UE's buffer.
  • communicating component 22 can compute the happy bit based on the combined data rate and/or power on all streams.
